The People's Roadmap; future of NYC's #civictech & #opendata - BKLYN Edition

Our organization’s programming and advocacy work is based from the values and goals in The People’s Roadmap to a Digital New York City (http://nycroadmap.us), a comprehensive visioning document co-written by BetaNYC and NYC’s civic technology and open data community. Our 2013 document was the result of six community meetings across all five boroughs and a collaborative online writing process. Four years later, 14 of the 34 proposals have been introduced as legislation in City Council. Seven have become laws and nine have gone on to become public-private partnerships.

NOW, we seek to revise the People's Roadmap and update our vision for the next four years.

Join us for this in person visioning session, and help write the future of NYC's civic/community technology, open data, and civic design!

This is a non-technical event, but we do ask that you read 2013's Roadmap at < http://nycroadmap.us >.

If you are interested in a deeper role, we're looking for volunteer ushers, facilitators, writers, editors, and a few techies. Volunteer at < https://betanyc.forms.fm/roadmap-volunteer >.

The event will begin promptly at 7:15 with introductions. Participants will be broken into discussion groups and come together at the end for collective insight.
